I originally posted this under General, which is probably the wrong place to post this question; re-posting here:
I have a pristine looking insurance replaced Note II that I'd like to Root and Rom with a stable Rom that retains T-Mobil's WiFi Calling feature.
Also, I'm getting the unlock code for the device sent to me by T-Mobile; which I'd like to do as well. I do have a T-Mobile SIM for it and can get at an AT&T SIM to unlock it if necessary.
As far as Root/Rom goes; I'm fairly certain this limits me to Android 4.3 and below; since T-Mo hung Note II users out to dry for a factory 4.4.x update; and I need the WiFi calling feature to work properly.
This specific device showed up with the following on it and is currently locked.
Firmware: 4.1.2
Baseband: T889UVBMD1
Kernel 3.0.31-935627
Build No: JZ05K.T889UVBMD1 (probably redundant info)
I have 2 Questions to start:
1. Should I unlock this before or after flashing root/ROM?
2. What Root/Rom(s) is (are) stable and let's the T-Mobile WiFi calling feature working properly. (I've seen Info on Jedi Rom, not sure which of them would be best or if there are others that keep WiFi Calling)
Some advice on this would be sincerely appreciated; since I have no experience with unlocking and/or root/ROMs; though I've been reading and really can't find info on my first question.
TIA to anyone that can point me in the right direction.

Here's the thing... if your Note 2 is still bone stock, in which I mean that it is still on the firmware that it is shipped with, you may try to unlock it for free by going into the phone's hidden menu, no need to wait for T-Mobile, but from what I see, you need to downgrade back to T889UVALJ1, Android 4.1.1... follow the steps on the site below to unlock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176721
As far as custom roms go, it you want Wi-Fi calling, your only choices are the Jedi Roms that are basically modified Touchwiz roms, I believe nothing else works. If you want root, use CF-Auto-Root, unzip the zip file and flash via Odin, see instruction on the site below:

Hey guys, before I begin, I've attempted to search the forums & I've been unable to find an adequate answer, so if there is an answer out there to my question & I missed it, my bad.
My question is thus. I have a Galaxy S3 LTE, model sgh-t99L T-Mobile branded & I'm considering rooting & installing a custom rom. I have done this previously with a HTC Sensation 4g successfully & I'm comfortable with the procedure. However, I've been unable to find any information on if it is possible to root the T-Mo S3 LTE model, if there is a way to restore the device to stock after rooting it, and the necessary tools to do so.
I'm happy with my device as is, but I like to tweak things, so I'd like to at least know if its possible to root my device & if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction.
*Note at the time of posting this, the search feature was "unavailable"*
Thank you guys for your assistance

Ok, first thing you need to know is this is a question, and as such should be asked in Q&A. Also if you were to look in Q&A you would find a dedicated thread for the T999L that is almost always on the first page. And if you read the stickies you would find a link to it in the roll-up thread.
Not lecturing, just helping so you know for the future. Also, when xda search is down, you can Google "xda T999L info" or similar and it should show up.
Your questions are already answered in that thread btw. Link is also in my Sig.

Does anyone use the Galaxy 3 Toolkit??? It unlocked mine in one click, I had to flash the modem i downloaded from this forum seeing as I had bricked my phone ten times the first day, had to use a kernel that wasnt fully compatible for my Bell phone, but nevertheless got me back up and running. Long story short, the Root Toolkit is pretty handy for anything other than unbricking, Odin of course being the big daddy for that....

I'm kinda new to this, so I was wondering if you got the 1700/1900 to work. If so can you please tell me how. Thanks.
---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------
So I'm new to all of this but I have come to this site and time and time again I have found many helpful solutions to various problems. So here's MY problem (Hoping that someone out there smarter than I can help me resolve it ASAP!)
So I have a Samsung SIII Sgh-i747m that i had unlocked at a store. The person that did the unlocking unlocked it to work with wind mobile (1700/1900). He used a program used GScript to do it. So all I had to do was turn my phone on and push a icon, and presto, the phone worked on Wind Mobile. The problem I'm having now is that My twins got a hold of the phone and I believe they might have erased the script that allows the phone to reboot so it can be used on the 1700/1900 frequency. So what I'm asking is If anyone knows what the script is that was/is used with GScript. OR if there is any way to flash my phone to work on the Wind Mobile carrier. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance...

Unlock it before anything with the provided code and steps from t.mobil, then root and flash any touchwiz rom. Go thru the comments for know issues on each rom. Jedi and conch are good.

Hi guys,
I jest bought a used ls980 LG g2 in Poland, that was earlier bought as new from China(I presume it was refurbished). It worked untill updated to official lollipop, the seller says the phone doesnt see the simcard. Will this fix solve the problem? Will it be permanent, can I change roms afterwards?
I dont have the phone yet, I'm waiting for delievery but I'd like to know earlier if its money well spent or not.
Thanks for your answers.

I am not sure but it should work, go for d802 if you can, it is better with software
Anyways, the sim unlock is for the stock rom, if you flash a custom rom over it such as I did (cloudy) and do a factory reset without wiping the internal storage, the sim unlock would still work
Has anyone figured out a way to switch from 2g to 3g on ZVG..... Please help....I need to switch network sometimes
I have G2 LS980 on cyanegenmod 12. 5.0.2
